Crystal Palace have completed the club record £48m signing of Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Palace have paid a fixed fee of £43m for the striker plus £5m in potential add-ons.
Strand Larsen leaves the Premier League's bottom club Wolves after 18 months. He scored 14 Premier League goals last season as Wolves stayed in the Premier League under Vitor Pereira, but has managed just one this term.
Palace have now broken their transfer record twice in this window following the purchase of Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur.

Carra: Strand Larsen starts over Mateta at Palace
Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher:
"I think Strand Larsen is a good player, hence why there's been so much interest in him. People are not buying him based on this season's performances.
"He's playing for a really poor team. And he's not been playing a lot of late he's been on the substitutes bench, a lot. I think the club want to move him on and bring some money in.
"I watched him last season and he looked like not a real top striker but certainly a striker you wouldn't associate with playing at the bottom.
"He can definitely play for a team on the middle of the league. The big thing that stands out from last season is the goals - non-penalty goals. To score 14 goals with no penalties - that takes some going.
"If Strand Larsen comes in, I think Mateta will be on the bench. I don't think Crystal Palace are the type of team that play with two strikers.
"They like those two number 10s, a big part of their system. It would be interesting to see them two going at it.
"They would be a handful. Mateta for how much of a handful he is, his hold up is absolutely fantastic he does miss a lot of big chances."
